<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 221731, member: 1242"]Selling the coins on eBay will give you a very large Collector/Buyer base. However, you will need the time to organize what items and how many you will sell with each Auction, build the Auctions (compose them using Turbo Lister II), babysit the Auctions including answering numerous emails about the coins or sets and then take care of all of the emails, insuring payments are received, shipping, Feedback, etc. once the auctions close.</p><p><br /></p><p>With such a large lot of coins, I agree with "<b>alwayslost</b>" and advise that you should consign the coins to Heritage. You can call up a Consignment Representative with Heritage, make arrangements to consign and ship the coins to them and with such a large amount of coins, you should be able to negotiate a lower Sellers fee. My friend has consigned coins to Heritage in the past and he advised that their' fees are higher for one time or small (amount) consignments but they are negotiable and will charge less to the Seller for repeat and large (amount) consignments (I was told that they only charge 5% on repeat or large (amount) consignments). With Heritage, you not only get a company known for high volume/high value sale, you also get the visibility of eBay as well as thousands and thousands of Coin Dealers, Coin Collectors and Coin Investors all at the same time (since Heritage usually offers these items at auction on eBay, via their' Website and call in all at the same time).</p><p><br /></p><p>Considering the cost of the fees that eBay will charge you for each Auction (up front and at the end of the Auction), the hassle and time that it takes to organize, compose and load the Auctions on to eBay and then the hassle of dealing with all of the emails, insuring that all payments are received, the shipping and the Feedback, you will proabably fair much better with consigning the coins to Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
